Submitted by diner524

"A recipe from my Weber's Charcoal Grilling cookbook, that sounds delicious and a nice change from the Buffalo wings. Posting for safe keeping."

 

• Ready In: 35mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 16 chicken wings, 3 to 3 1/2 pounds, wing tips removed
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1⁄4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper

• Glaze

• 3 tablespoons sweet chili sauce
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce, such as Sriracha
• 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil
• 1⁄2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

2. before grilling.
3. In a small bowl whisk the glaze ingredients.
4. In a medium skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour the
5. seeds into a cool container to stop the cooking.
6. Brush the cooking grate clean. Grill the wings over direct medium heat, with the lid closed as much as possible, until the skin turns
7. golden brown, about 10 minutes, turning occasionally and swapping their positions as needed for even cooking. Then lightly brush the
8. wings with the glaze on both sides and grill until the meat is no longer pink at the bone, 8 to 10 minutes, continuing to turn, glaze, and

Thanks for posting this. Got this from my Weber cook book years ago then lost the cook book when I moved back to my hometown. Have searched all over the web, in cook books( didn't remember it was the Weber book), and old Men's Health Mags(thought that was where I had found it). Finally found it again thanks to you. My family & friends will all be very happy!

Delicious! The glaze is so flavorful, and I loved making the wings on the grill - they crisped up nicely. Thanks for sharing! ZWT9

Lip-smacking good wings! The glaze is delicious, incorporating savoury and hot. I added just a touch of sweet with a drizzle of honey (my kids love that element). A definite keeper.

Excellent wings! We all gobbled these little gems up quickly. I love the Asian flavors and the extra touch of the toasted sesame seeds. The recipe is a breeze to prepare, too. Thanks for posting! Made for the Soup-A-Stars of ZWT9

YUM! We made these for dinner (since we had another nice day for grilling out). I'm so happy to have tried this. This is very different from your plain ol' BBQ chicken or Buffalo style chicken. I did have to make a couple alterations, but nothing that really changed the recipe itself. I used legs (drumsticks) instead of wings, since that is what we had on hand (although I will make this again with wings). I had pre-toasted sesame seeds, so I got to skip that part. Also, I used just a pinch of dried ginger to replace the fresh. We loved this variation on chicken (and we make chicken quite often). Thank you for posting this recipe. (Made for PRMR - Spring 2013). P.S. I believe it took close to 40 minutes to cook the legs thru.
